Catherine’s Bulletin Board Teacher Thank You Card

May 18, 2022May 17, 2022 - Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

We hope you enjoy today’s inspiration! We can’t wait to see your creativity! The Challenge 125 – Dies Only will be open until Sunday, June 5 at 11:59PM ET.

Catherine shopped her stash of Lawn Fawn die sets to find fun pieces for a bulletin board! Her creative card design is sure to inspire you!

Catherine started this super fun design with cork paper and a Stitched Rectangle Frame to create the bulletin board. Then she filled it with clever teacher related die cuts! Be sure to check out the supply list for all the sets she used.

The travel coffee cup is so inventive! She used a coordinating die from Milk and Cookies for the cup and the window box from Scalloped Treat Box Spring House Add-On for the lid; I love it!

She also incorporated the letters cut from Candy Hearts to spell out “hugs” and I heart U!

She even added a coordinating envelope liner using Really Rainbow paper!

Thank you so much, Catherine for sharing this brilliant inspiration with us!

We are looking forward to seeing your “Dies Only” creativity! Link your projects HERE!

Let’s see what our amazing Design Team was inspired to create!

Mimi was inspired by the rainbow image to create a charming sidewalk chalk art design! She used the cute kids from Joy to All and Screen Time for the little artists and she altered the candles from Birthday Before ‘n Afters and the wand from Fairy Friends to make the chalk! And then she used die cuts as stencils to color in the chalk drawings on the watercolor paper “sidewalk”. The greeting is a mix of Henry’s ABCs and Color My World.

Karin was inspired by the Easter eggs to create this beautiful card! She used Eggstra Amazing Easter and Butterfly Kisses to make the scene and then she added the sentiment from Bicycle Built for You!

Franci wishes you a very happy Spring with this adorable design that features A Bug Deal! She used sweet pastel colors inspired by the color board!

The color palette is great for creating adorable Easter cards! Joyce‘s design is so sweet with the cute Tiny Spring Friends arranged on and around the Giant Happy Easter greeting! The two rows of Simple Grassy Hillsides add dimension and fun design to her card!

Christy was inspired by the flowers and colors to create this cheerful scene! She included Garden Before ‘n Afters, Berry Special, A Creature was Stirring and A Bug Deal. She made the scenery with Cloudy Stencil and Grassy Border.

Samantha‘s card is so whimsical and fun! She incorporated the color palette and the flowers along with the adorable Chirpy Chirp Chirp chicks! I love how she added extra detail in the background with Just Stitching Double Rectangles!

Samantha M was inspired by the rainbow image and created a fun twist on the theme! She stamped several rainbows with All the Clouds, coloring each one in a different rainbow color. Such a clever idea! She added the raindrops with Rainy Sky Stencil and Stencil Paste in white.

Catherine was inspired to create an adorable scene! She combined Tiny Spring Friends, Village Shops, and Car Critters in cute scenes in the Peekaboo Backdrop windows! Then she filled in with lots of cute details from Happy Trails, Giant Easter Messages, Coaster Critters, Simply Celebrate Spring and Chirpy Chirp Chirp!

Jenn created a beautiful pair of cards that show us the difference between Distress Oxide Ink Spray and the original Distress Ink Spray! The Distress Oxide sprays have a softer, muted look compared to the bright color of the original sprays. Jenn’s design is so unique; she kept the Rainbow white with glittery detail and added the rainbow color in the background! Then she used Riley’s ABCs to stamp the custom greeting.

We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 121 – Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song tomorrow! Now it’s time for you to get creative!

Isha‘s clever Magic Iris Camera is a rainbow dream! She combined Hello Sunshine Remix 6×6 papers and added lots of whimsy with Unicorn Picnic, All the Clouds and Starry Backdrops! I love the glittery mane and tail of the unicorn!

Now, let’s see how our Design Team was inspired by our new What’s the Weather? theme!

Karin created a super cool snowy backdrop for the ice-skating bears from Beary Happy Holidays! She spelled out “snow” using Quinn’s ABCs coordinating dies!

From snow to sunshine! Samantha used warm sunny colors to celebrate a summer day at the beach! She combined Elphie Selfie, On the Beach, Critter Concert and Spring Showers to create this cute scene! I love the elephant standing in the puddle from Dad+Me! The perfect sentiment can be found in Hello Sunshine!

Jessica‘s gorgeous Double Slider Surprise design features a beautiful custom sentiment! She used Finley’s ABCs to cut the letters from gold glitter cardstock and gold embossed the rest using Milo’s ABCs. She used Cloudy Stencil to ink up the background.

Her design goes from cloudy to a beautiful rainbow after the rain by combining Spring Showers and Rainbow die sets.

Caly‘s card features a pastel Rainbow on a Puffy Cloud Backdrop! She added the sun from Out of this World, a sentiment from All the Clouds and some Simple Puffy Clouds with a dusting of Chunky Glitter! So pretty!

Franci used the cloudy pattern paper from Hello Sunshine Remix as the backdrop for her sweet Unicorn Picnic scene! The pastel colored unicorns are enjoying yummy treats on their own magical cloud!

Christy‘s clever and creative design features our cute Snow Much Fun and Den Sweet Den baby bears! She inked an awesome background before adding the sentiment using Finley’s ABCs and a Stitched Snowflake!

Joyce‘s sunny design is sure brighten someone’s day! She kept this adorable design simple using just one stamp set, All the Clouds! I love how she stamped the background clouds in Mermaid ink on Mermaid cardstock!

Samantha created a whimsical All the Clouds design! She filled the card with some cute mice (Dandy Day, You’re Just My Type and Really High Five), the sun from Out of this World and sweet smiley umbrellas are from Plus One! Her beautiful inking provides a wonderful backdrop for the white embossed sentiment!

Jenn used a cool watercolor technique to create a “stormy sky” background! Her encouraging sentiment is spelled out using Smitty’s ABCs and Finley’s ABCs! I love that beautiful rainbow of color!
